How to Upload Duplicate Videos on Youtube

• #2

You are able to have a video in multiple playlists... not merely is that ok just i would encourage it in order to fill your homepage with more than playlist options for your audience.

Unfortunately you will take duplicate content problems if you upload the video a second fourth dimension only to modify the description for the purpose of a being added to a different playlist.

Thanks Stanley, that seems very unfair, equally (a) it's my work and (b) it's capable of carrying a different message to a different audition. For instance, I could embed the same video into two different web log posts, with each post addressing a different point for a different audience. How shortsighted of YouTube - I'm surprised and rather disappointed - however, I'grand very grateful for your comment. Thank you very much for the update and didactics. Greatly appreciated.

Hello team - your views please on the following - greatly appreciated:

• I take a YouTube channel with several Playlists.
• I created all the content.
• I would like to take an already uploaded video belonging to Playlist-A, and....
• ... add the same video to Playlist-B (so the video is in 2 x Playlists at aforementioned time.

So far as I know, the above is okay, no problem. I now want to go further:

• I really want to have different descriptions for the video in each playlist.
• The only way I can think of doing this is by uploading the video over again - and then two copies exist, one in each Playlist.
• Each would have unlike tags and unlike descriptions (which I can easily justify - no trickery involved)

Is this second bit going to give me a duplicate content trouble? (The videos themselves would be identical - simply dissimilar Playlists, tags & descriptions).

Thank you

I have several videos featured in several playlists (so long as they're relevant) the only thing to be "conscientious" of is depending on the video order of your playlist, you could have the same video deed as the "encompass" of several playlists which will give them a repetitive vibe to audiences, and so it's better practise to swap the club of some of the videos in some of your playlists and then that the video at the top of the playlist order, which is also technically your encompass for that playlist, is a bit differant.

So I accept 2 indoraptor playlists, one is for tutorials, ane is for general videos, and this video also fits into a spinosaurus playlist as well. If this video was at the height of each of these playlists, information technology would likewise human action as the embrace

Then my well-nigh recent video is a velociraptor tutorial, and it also fits into my velociraptor tutorial collection playlist, but see how it'southward doubled now? I'd be improve off swapping my velociraptor tutorial collection video to a different video at the top

Using the two lines next to the thumbnail, yous can resort the videos

I've now re-shuffled my videos effectually so that my newest video is a fiddling lower, and my better performing video is at the top (which works out strategically better anyway)

Same playlist, but thanks to re-sorting the order of the videos inside the playlist, the thumbnail/cover of the playlist is at present unlike and doesn't await so repetitive.

And then y'all can have any of your videos testify up in every bit many of your own playlists as you lot desire, just be strategic and smart about it.

@Beanie Draws thanks for your response. If I read you correct, you're commenting on having one video appear in multiple playlists. This connects with the starting time gear up of bullet points in my original postal service. I'm with y'all - totally possible.

I really wanted to focus attention on the follow-on question - the issue (or not) of creating indistinguishable content by having a re-create of a video with different title,description and tags . Why would I desire to do this? Because I have videos that can be used to illustrate different points.

For case, you might take a choral music video that could illustrate both the harmonies of the singers (say), or the style in which the conductor is leading them. So, one might desire to make a detailed analysis of each of these 2 points - using the same video as the illustration - and then tag each description (assay) differently - give them each a unlike title, and upload *both* videos to different playlists, east.yard. #harmony-singing and #conductor-techniques.

As I sympathise it, YouTube's definition of what constitutes a total 'video' is fact: (Video_file + Championship + Tags + Description). Therefore, if you leave the 'Video_file' the aforementioned and alter the other components you accept a different 'video' from YouTube's perspective.

My question is: would this give me a duplicate content outcome?

@Stanley Orchard is articulate: Yeah, it would. As per my response to Stanley, that'southward a flake of a shame, only considering I can run into many reasons for wanting to employ the same video to make different points, and information technology seems that YouTube doesn't want us doing that - corking pity. I find that quite a constriction on the overall usefulness of the medium.

Whatsoever additional thoughts and views welcomed, but Stanley seems to have striking the nail on the head, if I've understood everything correctly.

I really wanted to focus attention on the follow-on question - the consequence (or not) of creating indistinguishable content past having a copy of a video with different title,description and tags . Why would I want to do this? Because I take videos that tin be used to illustrate dissimilar points.

I'd certainly defer to @Beanie Draws and @Stanley Orchard but if seems similar you could edit slightly different versions to accomplish what yous are talking about. For case, cut a different intro, practise unlike inserts, overlays and comments. I know that'due south non-niggling work, but it seems similar a fashion to get maximum reuse out of your content while adding enough variation that it doesn't feel like duplicate content.

Yes - I agree with you lot there @SILTHW - I was rather hoping to get away without making whatsoever edits at all... which seems unlikely. It's a shame to have work added to the excess simply to satisfy social media rules. There will be occasions when information technology'll easier to crank out a new video, rather then editing the existing one. My objective is to go my message in front end of my audition, as opposed to making beautiful videos. Anyway, as you say, those that know seem to have given clear communication on this. It was news to me and I'yard grateful for the learning - a deffo "+1" for the forum. Thanks for your comment. Chris

Yep - I concur with y'all there @SILTHW - I was rather hoping to go away without making any edits at all... which seems unlikely. It's a shame to have work added to the backlog only to satisfy social media rules. There will exist occasions when it'll easier to crank out a new video, rather then editing the existing i. My objective is to get my message in front of my audition, as opposed to making beautiful videos. Anyway, as you lot say, those that know seem to have given clear communication on this. Information technology was news to me and I'yard grateful for the learning - a deffo "+one" for the forum. Thanks for your annotate. Chris

FWIW, right now I do ii versions of each episode of my podcast. I do a video version then an edit that becomes sound-but for syndication to the major podcasting platforms. I'm actually adding a 3rd version for LinkedIn as an experiment over the side by side 3 episodes. It adds most 10 minutes to my recording time and about 15 minutes to my edit time.

It IS a trade off, but getting 2-three variations for 20-25 minutes of actress work feels worth information technology to me. But only time will tell.

Practiced approach - like the idea and thanks for sharing. My videos are me in front of a white lath - then visuals and audio are very 'integrated'. You've got me thinking though - for future, could I just add an 'sound-only' later, that would get edited out into a podcast? Good idea. Thinking cap on. Thanks, Chris

Good approach - like the thought and thanks for sharing. My videos are me in front of a white lath - so visuals and audio are very 'integrated'. You've got me thinking though - for future, could I just add an 'sound-merely' afterwards, that would get edited out into a podcast? Good thought. Thinking cap on. Thanks, Chris

This is not an affiliate plug, it is a 18-carat recommendation. Check out ballast.fm. It is the meta syndication service owned past Spotify. Yous upload to them and they distribute information technology to all of the major podcast platforms. It is 100%, no strings attached complimentary. I know that doesn't seem possible, merely it is true.

Homo... I would say that the real tragedy here is the disability to brand this happen without the need for a second upload!

Man... I would say that the existent tragedy here is the inability to brand this happen without the demand for a 2d upload!

One of my big YouTube wish-list items would exist the ability to upload content and replace content at markers without losing views. So, for example, being able to change your unabridged cease content (sound-video included), change out an sometime bumper for a new bumper, add together a new disclaimer at the starting time, etc.

Ive never used the YouTube editor, just I agree. It would be SOOO overnice to have a MovieMaker quality editing option after upload. I know that is a lot to enquire for... simply WHAT a difference that would make for copyright claims, dated videos etc. Lot of value for such a trivial tool.

• #15

Yous are able to have a video in multiple playlists... non only is that ok but i would encourage it in society to make full your homepage with more playlist options for your audience.

Unfortunately you will have indistinguishable content issues if you upload the video a second fourth dimension simply to change the description for the purpose of a being added to a different playlist.

By "indistinguishable content issues" exercise we mean that it won't upload successfully or that YouTube could effect a strike? If this was already answered elsewhere, please feel costless to point me at that place.

• #16

Cypher to exercise with upload difficulties (non encountered any - that works fine).

My question is relates purely to YouTube taking some grade of activity against someone having duplicate videos with different titles, tags, and descriptions. (On the basis that such a set-up would be interpreted equally 'duplicate content'). The answers in a higher place indicate that this is *not* a good thing to do.
